I would suggest using ceramic pads as they are less noisy and not as much brake dust. However, they are softer so if you want the most life and don't mind possible noise and dust then the semi metallic are the way to go.

Here is a guide that will help with this:

Below you will find the instructions from the manual on how to do this.

Let us know if you have questions. Thanks
